Such stores of satin and lace robes, and velvet mantles, and fur wrappings and garnishings, and silken scarfs, and varieties of adornment old and new, were gathered into one room and displayed, that it almost tired Daisy to look at them.

Here she examined the pictures and made a careful survey of the articles with which she must work to produce the desired effects.

Some of the work was easy.
